On Tuesday, February 19th, C shift personnel participated in ice rescue training utilizing a specialized water rescue boat. This boat provides a stable platform for our rescuers to work from and allows our rescuers to remove the victim quickly and gently. This boat has a number of other uses in water rescue situations as well, including the ability to be used in moving water safely.

The Greeley Fire Department recommends that people and their pets remain off the ice, due to the constantly changing and unstable ice conditions frequently experienced. If you see a person or an animal that has fallen through the ice please call 911 immediately.
